Colvic 26 Sailer


I took a trip to Bells marina in Brundall today to Survey this small family cruising yacht with a surprisingly spacious interior for her size, and with twin bilge keels allowing drying out.

The Colvic Sailer 26 hulls were moulded by Colvic Ltd., and sold in quite large numbers both to professional boatyards and to home completers for fitting out. One of the major builders using these hulls was Atlanta, who sold the resulting boat as the Atlanta 26.

The hulls have twin bilge keels moulded in as an integral part of the hull, with internal encapsulated ballast. These keels are near vertical, unlike the angled-out bolt-on iron keels found on yachts such as the Westerly. This made moulding easier but is less efficient under sail.

 



As many boats were home completed to individual ideas, you will often find alternative layouts.....

Price guide £8 to £10,000
